Windows doesn't have fchmod(), but chmod() doesn't do much on it either: “Although Windows supports chmod(), you can only set the file’s read-only flag with it (via the stat.S_IWRITE and stat.S_IREAD constants or a corresponding integer value). All other bits are ignored.” (Windows has a sophisticated file permissions scheme, but you probably need to use native APIs to effect them)
